What is Liferay Portal

Choosing a platform for your web presence can be daunting. You want something built on a solid technology foundation, fully featured, fully customizable, easy to use, with a solid record of success, and a forward-looking, bright vision for your site’s future. If you’re a small organization, the interface should be intuitive enough and the defaults safe enough for you to get your site up quickly, so you can focus on your mission instead of your technology. If you’re a large organization, your marketers should be able to update your site’s content easily, your developers should have a solid platform on which to build your applications, and your administrators should have all the tools necessary to manage the system and connect it to your existing environment.

You’ve just found all that in Liferay Portal.
